This collection gives important insight into the new issues and
questions that have become central to understandings of women,
violence and resistance. It focuses on the connections between
research and the development of strategies for change by providing
excellent examples of policy-relevant feminist research, rooted in
both academe and activism. The emphasis throughout is on the link
between research and strategies for action at the local, national
and international level.
The book gathers together the many exciting ideas, discussions
and developments arising from the work of the researchers and
activists who are part of the British Sociological Association
Violence Against Women Study Group. The contributing authors share
a commitment to research that centres on the material reality of
women's lives and assists the generation of strategies for action.
It complements the earlier volume, Women, Violence and Male Power,
extending the latter's coverage in important ways by addressing
differences as well as commonalities between women, and the
complexities of feminist analysis and activism in a changing
context.
Women, Violence and Strategies for Action is of direct relevance
to practitioners working in the professions of probation, social
work and law, as well as students and researchers in the fields of
women's studies, sociology, social policy, social work, criminology
and socio-legal studies. It will also be of interest to women's
organizations, including local inter-agency forums.
